Ford decided that the best time to release their most important vehicle of the year was at the New York International Auto Show. And they found that it was the perfect place to introduce the 2009 Ford Flex. The Ford Flex will replace their usual minivan and will keep them up to date with the other popular crossover vehicles.
This is a vehicle that seeks to change the way that you and I think about Ford by being thoroughly thought out, pleasantly executed and different enough to generate strong opinions, all of which took place on the show floor. The Flex is that it’s a luxury large crossover vehicle (GMC Acadia/Hyundai Veracruz-sized) that is based off the architecture that underpins the Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX.
It has crush-resistant bumpers with reinforced steel push bars, 18-inch alloy wheels and a V-8 engine. But its most imposing feature is the badge that it wears proudly. Ford unveiled the Ford Interceptor concept at the New York International Auto Show to shine the spotlight on the vehicle that protects and serves more cities in the U.S. than any other, the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor.
